Earlier in the new Pokémon TV anime series, Pokémon: Sun Moon, Ash was shown as a wimp. He’s always been superhuman strong, so this depiction was a break from tradition. Good news! The most recent episode is a return to form. Herculean Ash is back and stronger than ever.

Over the years, the Pokémon anime has shown Ash pick up an array of hefty Pocket Monsters. Those characters look heavy, but unless you were familiar with the Pokédex, the most recent feat probably won’t appear impressive.
